Finishing up the main camp area - some nice stuff below the steep section. Then over by the log yard - nicely complex.

UP the Overlook Trail , right onto the Saddle trail, over the top, then down the Ridge Trail. Some mental notes for drainage issues to address on the lower part of the Ridge Trail, now that I've adopted it. It's good to be the person that coordinates trail adoption - when a nice one comes open I can just assign it to me - no questions asked.
Someone (the Trail Bandit??) had been back at work on the chunk paralleling Try Me - looks like it had been raked down, top to bottom earlier in the day. Was hoping I'd come upon the culprit - but no luck. Less impressed with it running from the top down, than hiking from the bottom up - too many sections straight down the fall line, side slope sections will deteriorate quickly and the bottom runs right down a reentrant - will be a muddy stream soon.

Since I'd bought a year round pass, decided to take advantage of it and ride the mountain coaster after my run - it was a blast.
Took advantage of the braking heading into a couple of the turns - cautious old-timer - need to just let it rip next time.

GPS track might be useful to validate how I mapped it.

Event: Westchester County Challenge
 

Wasn't sure what I do as far as mapping heading over, but just started up a wooded section between ski trails and kept going to the top.
A lot of bugs in some sections, and next to none in others. Some very bland hillside with nothing going on, but much more interesting up towards the top.
